Actually, it appears to be just a matter of waiting until Thursday night for Wiley to officially nail down the W.I.C. and city championships. The Red Streaks are heavily favored to dispose of Gerstmeyer at Memorial Stadium. But a red hot battle for the No. 2 spot in the city coming up Friday night when Garfield and Schulte clash at the Stadium.

The Purple Eagles have already nailed down at least a second-place finish in the W.I.C. and could assure themselves of the same spot in the city with a victory over Schulte. The Eagles are in a position to claim a share of the city title and run off with the W.I.C. championship if they win and the unexpected happens in the Wiley- Gerstmeyer tilt. Both the Eagles and Golden Bears have 1-1 city records, with the loser of their tussle destined for a third-place in the city.

Garfield sports a 6-1 conference mark and a 7-1 overall record as compared to 7-2 season showing. In other games Friday night. Bicknell is at Vincennes and Brazil is at Clinton for a W.I.C. encounter. Sullivan, which already has clinched third place in the W.l closes out Nov.

Just as they had for the last three years, the Wolverines overtook Iowa when it appeared the Hawkeyes were about to win their first triumph over Michigan since 1924.

Holding a 14-10 lead early the fourth period, as the result of two quick second quarter touchdowns, Iowa fell victim to a Michigan drive that consumed nearly all the final minutes and ended with Shatusky going over his right tackle from the two-yard line. It was a brutally disappointing finish for a homecoming crowd of 58.136—largest ever to see a game in Iowa. The home fans saw Michigan power and skill, move relentlessly for the winning touchdown. The fatal blow sent Iowa to its first defeat in six games. The Hawks had gone into the battle leading the Big Ten with a 3-0 record.

The loss not only dropped Iowa from the conference front spot but put a severe blight upon their Rose Bowl prospects. Preceding its payoff touchdown Michigan had scored in the first quarter on a 15-yard field goal by the brilliant Ron Kramer and on a 69-yard march at the opening of the second half with Shatusky going over from the three.

Four jabs at the big Purdue line produced only eight feet, and the Boilermakers took over. A flurry of Dawson passes sent Illinois reeling back to its one, but the 98-yard attack failed when fullback Mel Dillard fumbled into the hands of Woodson.
